Ka Malanai at Kailua
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

No analysis available
Remarks do not provide a numeric owner-occupancy percentage or definitive statement about overall owner-occupancy levels. Per rules, I will not infer a percentage without an explicit numeric remark, so the value is left unknown.
Listings repeatedly reference proximity to or presence of an elevator (phrases such as 'near the elevator', 'secured elevator', 'FOB’d elevator'), confirming elevators exist. However, no remark gives an explicit number of elevators in the building, and per rules I will not guess a numeric count without an explicit statement.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Among 20 recent Ka Malanai listings, just 3 show 'cable TV' as included in association fees while 17 do not, and no remarks highlight cable as an HOA-provided utility. Given how consistently other utilities (water, sewer, common-area electricity) are marked and described, this pattern strongly indicates that cable TV is not included in the maintenance fees.
Across every one of the 20 recent Ka Malanai listings, 'OTCOEX' is checked as part of association_fee_includes. This uniform checkbox usage across multiple agents and listings supports that common-area electricity for hallways, elevators, and shared amenities is included in the HOA fees.

The consistent absence of 'HOTWAT' from association_fee_includes (0/20 listings) combined with the frequent presence of WTRHTR (18/20 listings) shows that units rely on their own water heaters. This pattern, along with prior high-confidence data, supports that building-supplied hot water is not included in the maintenance fees.
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings flags internet in the maintenance fee, and none of the extensive public remarks mention internet/Wi‑Fi being included, which strongly suggests it is not an included utility.
No analysis available
Every recent Ka Malanai listing consistently lists 'SEWER' as part of the HOA-included items. This uniform representation across different units and agents provides strong evidence that sewer service costs are covered by the monthly association fees.
Water appears as an included item in association_fee_includes on all 20 recent Ka Malanai MLS entries. The complete consistency across listings and agents strongly supports that domestic water usage is included in the HOA maintenance fees.
Multiple listings explicitly reference shared BBQ amenities, including phrases like 'outdoor BBQ area is perfect for gatherings,' 'beautifully landscaped gardens feature BBQ areas,' 'bbq picnic areas,' and 'BBQ stations.' At least seven different remark sets describe these BBQ facilities, and 19/20 current MLS records have the BBQ amenity checked. The varied wording across listings indicates independent agent confirmation rather than a single copy‑paste error.

Multiple listings for Ka Malanai at Kailua describe outdoor living areas such as ‘spacious covered lanai,’ ‘large usable lanai,’ ‘wrap-around lanai,’ and ‘private lanai,’ often emphasizing their use for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying garden or mountain views. These references appear across many independently written listings, not as a single copy-paste description, confirming that lanais/patio-style decks are a common feature in the building. Even though only 9 of 20 MLS checkbox entries flag patio/covered patio, the consistent lanai language in the remarks provides strong evidence that the building offers patio/deck amenities.
Several listings explicitly mention on-site paths and fitness circulation, including 'walking paths, lawns, & exercise stations,' 'tropically landscaped grounds boasting a fitness network,' 'strolling paths,' and 'Barbecue, walking path, and exercise circuit are just below.' At least four separate remark sets describe these walking/fitness paths, and 11/20 current MLS entries flag the walking/jogging path amenity. The consistent, detailed language suggests established shared paths integrated into the landscaped grounds.

I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and related terms. Multiple listings advertise on-site surfboard, paddleboard, kayak and bike storage (including a note about getting on a list for limited surf/paddle board storage), indicating this amenity is available.
No analysis available
Trash chutes are not called out in the public remarks, but 16/20 current MLS listings have the trash chute amenity selected, with no listings or owner notes indicating their removal or absence. Given the building’s age and style and the strong, consistent MLS checkbox pattern across many units, it is very likely that a shared trash chute system exists in the complex. In the absence of contrary evidence, the MLS data is treated as reliable for this feature.

Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', or 'saline pool' in the remarks and found none. Given the building context (pool=False) and lack of any mention of a salt-water pool, there is no evidence the property has a salt pool.
Evidence is overwhelming that Ka Malanai units have in‑unit laundry. At least seven listings explicitly mention in‑unit laundry, with phrases like "PLUS, a wonderful W/D in unit," "an in-unit washer and dryer," "washer/dryer in the unit," and "Full sized washer dryer unit included as well." Combined with 20/20 MLS inclusions showing washer/dryer, this confirms that Ka Malanai offers in‑unit laundry across its units.
No analysis available
I searched for terms indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, quarters, card-operated machines, 'paid laundry') but found none. Remarks mainly reference full-size washer/dryer in-unit or a separate laundry room for a unit; no evidence of paid community laundry.
Searched all remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Listings instead reference in-unit washers/dryers and an occasional separate laundry room for specific units, but no statement that community laundry exists on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned or reserved parking is clearly provided for units in this building. Numerous listings reference assigned stalls, such as 'There are two assigned covered parking spaces,' 'One assigned parking plus LOADS of guest parking,' and 'two assigned parking stalls providing convenience and easy access.' Combined with 18/20 MLS records checking the assigned box, this strongly confirms assigned parking as a building feature.
Covered parking is consistently described across the building, with phrases like 'two covered parking stalls near the elevator,' 'one covered parking stall,' and 'Two full-sized cover parking stalls are just steps away from the secure elevator.' With every MLS entry indicating covered or garage parking, covered parking is a well-established amenity for this complex.
Listings repeatedly reference assigned/covered parking stalls near the elevator, guest parking, and covered parking — but none explicitly describe parking as deeded/owned or 'included in the deed'. Therefore deeded parking is not supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for phrasing like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', or any dollar amounts tied to parking but found none. The presence or amount of a parking fee cannot be determined from the remarks.
Guest parking is repeatedly promoted as a selling point, with language such as 'One assigned parking plus LOADS of guest parking,' 'Two covered parking stalls near the elevator, ample guest parking,' and 'Lots of guest parking, overnight parking.' With most MLS entries also checking guest parking, the evidence is strong that guest/visitor parking is available to residents’ visitors.

I searched for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', and parking-specific queue language. The remarks mention 'must get on the list' only in reference to storage for surf/paddle/kayak/bikes, not for parking. No evidence of a parking waitlist was found.
No analysis available
I looked for 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', and related terms. Multiple listings explicitly reference FOB/key fob access and secured/access-controlled elevators, supporting high confidence that card/fob access is provided.
Multiple listings describe staffed security at Ka Malanai, including explicit phrases like “night time guard service” and “night shift security,” indicating active guard personnel rather than just access control. One additional listing highlights on-site management and security cameras, and together with 5/20 MLS entries checking the security-guard amenity, this provides strong evidence that the building offers guard-based security services.
I searched for 'security patrol', 'roving security', 'guard service', and related language. Several listings directly reference night-time guard service and security on site, plus an on-site resident manager and video surveillance.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is consistently advertised across Ka Malanai listings, with many remarks stating phrases like 'Enjoy the coolness of central air conditioning', 'NEW central AC system', 'Did we mention? It's got CENTRAL A/C!', and 'central A/C' in unit descriptions. At least a large majority of the 20 listings reference central AC explicitly, and the language comes from multiple differently worded agent remarks rather than a single copy-paste template. Combined with prior high-confidence data, this strongly confirms a building-wide central AC system is a core feature of Ka Malanai.

Multiple listings describe Ka Malanai as a newer, solidly built mid-rise, with one explicitly stating it is "solidly built with steel frame and concrete." In addition, 13 of 20 MLS entries list CONCRE in construction_materials. This consistent evidence across many units and agents strongly supports concrete construction for the building.
The majority of MLS entries (16 of 20) for this complex list DOUWAL in construction_materials, indicating double wall construction as the standard build. Current remarks describe a newer, solidly constructed mid-rise project with no statements that conflict with double-wall construction. In the absence of contrary evidence, the consistent MLS data supports keeping this feature as true at the building level.

Multiple data points confirm steel-frame construction for Ka Malanai. A detailed remark calls it a "mid-rise development, solidly built with steel frame and concrete," and 14 of 20 current MLS listings include STEFRA in construction_materials. This aligns with prior high-confidence assessments and indicates a consistent, building-level construction characteristic rather than an isolated unit feature.

Above-ground construction is inconsistently indicated, with just 4 of 20 listings checking ABOGRO and no remarks explicitly referencing an above-ground construction type. This pattern suggests sporadic or erroneous MLS checkbox use rather than a defined, marketed building feature. Accordingly, this feature is not treated as a confirmed characteristic of the complex.

I searched for explicit STR signaling (terms like 'short-term rental', 'NUC', 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum' etc.). The public remarks contain no statements allowing or describing a hotel/rental program, so STR allowance is not evidenced in these remarks.
I looked for hotel-managed rental pool language (examples: 'hotel rental pool', 'part of hotel operations', brand names). None of the listings mention such a program; because STR allowance is not evidenced, a hotel rental pool is also not supported.
I searched for wording that would indicate a mandatory rental pool (phrases like 'must participate', 'cannot opt out', 'mandatory rental program'). There is no evidence of any rental pool—mandatory or optional—in the public remarks, so mandatory pool is false.
No analysis available

I searched the remarks for explicit leasehold/lease expiry language (examples: 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease to 2065', 'renewed through 2075'). No 4-digit lease expiry year or leasehold wording was found, so the lease expiry is unknown.
Several listings explicitly advertise VA approval and an assumable VA loan. This is clear project-level marketing language indicating VA financing is approved and available.
Public remarks contain no explicit insurance coverage language indicating the HOA carries walls-in or full building insurance. In absence of explicit wording, the field is set to false with medium confidence.
Multiple MLS listings (10/20) continue to mark the fire sprinkler amenity, and one detailed remark specifically notes the building has a 'fire sprinkler system' as part of its construction and security features. This explicit building-level description, combined with consistent checkbox usage across many listings, provides strong evidence that Ka Malanai at Kailua has a fire sprinkler system. The consistency across different agents and listings indicates this is a real building feature, not a copy-paste error.
Remarks mention a 'fire sprinkler system' but do not state that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation or inspection. Because there is no explicit FLSE pass statement in the remarks, the feature is recorded as false with medium confidence.

Multiple listings in this building describe strong garden or courtyard outlooks, including phrases like “lush courtyard and garden views,” “views of the charming garden,” “lanai overlooking the lush garden,” and “faces the lush landscaping and open views of the expansive lawn.” Current MLS view data (7 of 20 listings with GARDEN and none with NONE) aligns with these remarks, reinforcing that many units enjoy garden/landscaped views. Evidence is consistent across different floor plans, agents, and years, so garden views should be considered a reliable building feature.

Across extensive remarks, views are described as mountain, garden, greenery, courtyard, park, and tree‑top, with no mention of sunsets, western exposure, or similar, and 0 of 20 MLS view_descriptions include SUNSET.

Searched for explicit language such as 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit'. Listings describe garden, mountain, park, and beach proximity but do not claim any views of fireworks from the building.
No analysis available
Several remarks explicitly note an on-site manager, such as “daytime Resident Manager on site and night time guard service,” “has on site resident manager,” and “amenities including… an on-site manager,” and 7 of 20 MLS listings include RESMAN.
